Tons of information garbage can be found on the pages of many sites. One only headlines, more beautiful than another. It would be nice to have headlines, but the information in the texts is so illiterate, misleading, that it annoys me, as a specialist in the field of plumbing, so I continue the rubric "Crazy Plumber Advice" And we smash to smithereens the writings of incompetent copywriters that clog the information space.
Hello friends, my name is Victor and I am the author of the channel "Plumbing called". I have worked as a plumber for over 15 years and have a clear eye for many things in the industry.
Today we will consider the text as a recommendation allegedly from a plumber, but there is so much nonsense there that I could not help but pass by, I will comment on the most burning ones:
1) Bath cosmetics
Everyone's favorite bath bombs should not be used, when they enter the water, they begin to release bubbles, hiss and fill the bath with a pleasant smell. But this remedy contains salts and oils, and if such entertainment is often used, then a blockage in the pipes is sure to form. In addition, they may contain sparkles that accelerate the overgrowth of the pipe. If the pipes do not overgrow, then the plumbing does not need to be called.
I have not read such nonsense for a long time, how "stoned" you need to be to think that a pipe will grow from a ball of salt, with essential oils and sparkles. The concentration of oil and glitter, on the volume of the bath, is so negligible that there can be no talk of clogging the pipeline from this cosmetic. Therefore, who doubted, calm down. Feel free to use bath bombs
2) Warm up the bath before use
Do you intend to take a bath?, before this procedure, you should pour a little warm water into it, from this action the bowl will warm up and after a while you can pour the bath at the required temperature. After such manipulations, the bath enamel will live longer, will not turn yellow and will not crack.
Such fake information still needs to be found.The room temperature of the bath is 20 degrees, the temperature for taking water procedures is about 40 degrees. A drop of 20 degrees will not affect the coating of your bath in any way, from this it will not crack or fade. In addition, the surface of the bath, before filling, is washed with warm water and thereby warms up. It is not necessary to additionally warm the enameled surface, this is a big nonsense.
3) Repair sinks and enamel in the bathroom
Here is what we are advised on the pages of sites:
"Local damage to surfaces in a bathroom or sink is an unpleasant thing, they spoil the appearance of sanitary ware, an eyesore, and spoil the mood. A chipped enamel in a steel, cast iron tub or sink will cause rust on the surface.
It is good that there are means for removing chips with which you can restore the surface, cover up the chipped place. Do not call the masters, you can repair the chips yourself."
In my practice, working as a plumber, I have never seen successfully repaired chips, imperceptibly restored enamelled surfaces. Everything that is offered on the market is a temporary solution that turns yellow and falls off over time. It is impossible to achieve repeated perfect enameling at home. Well, chips are very difficult to repair, especially since it is practically impossible to get into color. Therefore, we do not fool our heads, but simply change the problematic plumbing
